Bill overview
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow parents who experience a stillbirth to claim the Child Tax Credit. Currently, the Child Tax Credit is only available for qualifying children who are born alive. This legislation defines ‘stillbirth’ as an unborn child carried for 20 weeks or more and lost through spontaneous intrauterine fetal demise, and treats this loss as if it occurred immediately after delivery for credit purposes. This change aims to provide financial support to families grieving the loss of a child.
